I was a Texas State licensed Director for both Montessori Schools and Child Development programs for 15 of those years.

Amber Ivey Brain Trainer

I am a bubbly, warm-hearted person who loves learning and helping children reach their maximum potential. Nothing melts my heart more than seeing a child equipped with the tools to thrive and conquer the world! I enjoy reading, completing puzzles and spending time with my fur baby. I have taught fourth and fifth grade for several years and served as a coach for novice teachers. My favorite subjects to teach are reading and writing, for with a book and a pen, there’s no limit to where you can go! I received a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Texas Lutheran University and plan on furthering my education in the near future.

Christy Paul Brain Trainer

My name is Christy Paul, and I have been at Learning Rx for nearly 2 years! It has been so wonderful to work here. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Abilene Christian University. I enjoy all aspects of training, but especially getting to know my students and encouraging them and helping them to believe in themselves. An interesting fact about me is that I come from a large family. I have two brothers and twelve sisters! I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right. We are the coolest family ever! After all, normal is only a cycle on the washing machine. I am excited to meet your child and work with you to help your child grow and learn!:)
